Comes: A Green Haired Girl

It's been too long. I have been in a slump recently, so I decided to devote today to drawing. Here's what I got.

It was a little intimidating a couple times. I stuck with it when I would usually give up though, and I am really happy with how it came out.

Comes: Wedding Signs

These are a few signs I was asked to make for my good friend’s wedding. 

When I had finished this one I hadn't noticed that I put a 14 instead of a 15 for the date. luckilly a little sandpaper helped me fix that.

I spent a lot of time on this cupcake sign. I had a hard time sketching out a unique simple design. As soon as I saw this one though I knew it was the right one.

I am most happy that with the fact that these two parking signs came out so similar, and I free handed both of them. They're also really simple because I wasn't sure if they would need arrows added or not.

I had a lot of fun making these signs, and the wedding was great!

Comes: Band Sketches

I went to a house show this night of July 7th. Three bands played,and I sketched and painted some pictures of them. I had never seen any of the bands before, so I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that I liked them all. The main act was Garage Voice, and they were really great. anyways, here're the pictures.

Thanks for checking in.

Comes: Adding to the Collection

     Well, this post has come very late, but better to finish it late than not at all, yeah? Anyways this is the journal entry for way back on March 6th. On that day I received in the mail copies of Wreck it Ralph, Cars, and Frankenweenie. It seemed fitting to me to draw a picture of welcoming these characters into my Disney Collection. The other characters on the right are by no means all the other Disney movies I own, I just felt they represented the large library of characters, and they're some of my favorites too.
     A part of the reason I took so long to finish this piece was that I was intimidated to color in the characters properly, then I fell off my bike and scabbed up my hands, and then ended up in the Hospital for a possible heart attack. Now all that is behind me, and I finally finished this picture more than a month later. Thanks for checking in, Sorry it took so long for this new post.

Comes: Rainy Day?

Today the weather was really overcast and I thought it looked like it might rain, so I drove my car to work today. But it did not rain today. However I did check the forecast and it predicts rain for the next three days, So I guess no more biking for the rest of the week. Thanks for checking in!

Comes: Moving Stuff

Ah Monday, back to work and this day was a particularly good day for me. I got to do some physical work; putting boxes of parts away, and moving heavy pallets around with the pallet jack. One in particular was so heavy, and the floor just slippery enough, that I couldn't get the pallet to move without a coworkers help. I slept good that night. Thanks for checking in!

Comes: Laundry Day

Well, as previously stated, I didn't get much done this weekend, but I did at least get my laundry done. Thanks for checking in!

Comes: Creature Comforts

This weekend I suffered some real first world problems. I had a lot to do, but instant gratification won out a little too much as I kept telling myself I could get to my chores after one more game or episode. Before I knew it the weekend was over, and I had done nothing. Well here's hoping next weekend I is more productive. Thanks for checking in!

Comes: Munchkin

Wow, Two months down and on to the third. This Friday my roommate Micah bought a card game called Munchkin so we played a coupe rounds. After the first two games we figured out all the rules so the third game went really smoothly. I also won that third game. What can I say, I'm a good Munchkin. Thanks for checking in!

Comes: Pub Sketching

My brother performed at the SLO Down Pub in Arroyo Grande again this last Thursday. I was able to sketch for most the night this time. And my brother played really good. Thanks for checking in!

Comes: Late Night

I got backed up again with my daily drawings, so I stayed up late last Wednesday to catch up. I did, but then got behind again. It's a sick cycle that I hope to break soon. Thanks for checking in!

Comes: Cooking and Cleaning

Well it's that time of week again, I cooked for the household today! I made tacos this time. I used to buy taco seasoning packets for the meat, but recently have started to season the meat from scratch. I seem to have it down pretty well now which I am pretty happy about seeing as how it was my third or fourth time doing that. I also cleaned the dishes afterward. Thanks for checking in!

Comes: Biking Alone

I have been riding my bike during my lunch break with a couple friends from work for the last month or so, but today everyone else was busy, or didn't have a bike to ride. So I went out on my own. I was a little more worried because one biker is harder to see than 3, but I was cautious and got my ride in. Thanks for checking in!

Comes: Cooking Aaron

Well, It was my roommate Aaron's turn to cook dinner for the household this Sunday. But, if I understood him correctly, he has never cooked a meal before; so you can guess that Micah and I were there to "help" in any way we could. Truthfully we believed that he could do it, but we stayed downstairs in case he had any questions. He decided to cook a meal his cousin used to cook, linguica in garlic sauce over linguini. And it turned out just fine. Way to go Aaron! And as always, Thanks for checking in!

Comes: New Game

My roommate Micah had to drive his car to see if he had in fact fixed the problem with it, so we went to the local Games Stop and I bought myself a new game. I have wanted to play Kid Icarus Uprising since it came out, but was waiting on it because I had other games needing to be beat. I still haven't played it, but I will soon. I am really happy with how the game cover came out in this picture. I didn't expect to make it look that good. anyway, Thanks for checking in!

Comes: Resting

After that long week of fun and Family at Disneyland, I was tuckered out. So as soon as I got home I took a little nap till about dinner time. Thanks for checking in!

Comes: Cars!

And now the second day of our Vacation. We went to California Adventure and headed straight to Cars Land to ride Radiator Springs Racer. I have been to the park multiple times since Cars land opened, but never went on any Cars rides because I didn't know they had a single rider line, and didn't want to take up a car by myself. Anyways, it was an great ride; we all loved it. Thanks for checking in!

Comes: Disneyland!

We are here at Disneyland! Last year around this time we were on a trip similar to this one to Disneyland for my little sister's adoption and now we're back this year for my Dad's Birthday, and my niece's first time to Disneyland. My older sister Alicia brought a little Figure of Pleakley from Lilo and Stich to take pictures of him around the park. My little sister had just reached 40 in. which meant that she could go on most of the rides in the park, and her two new favorite rides were Splash and Space Mountains. Thanks for checking in!

Comes: Drawing on the Go

Well, I got home from work tonight and packed for a family vacation to Disneyland! after packing I waited around for my sister to get off school so we could drive down together. She was kind enough to drive as I had some stuff to work on, such as yesterdays entry to my Visual Journal, and my next comic. It was difficult to drive in the car, but I got some stuff done. Tomorrow Disneyland! Thanks for checking in!

Comes: Saghetti Night

My roommates ad I have decided that we will start to take nights to cook meals for all of us to partake and I got the first night of cooking. I decided to make spaghetti because it is easy, and I can make a lot of it. While I was cooking Micah was downstairs too and we were discussing comics for Shoeshine Comics, My new website.
